Capybaras live in groups of 10-30, and when one senses danger, it will alert the rest with warning barks.

Although there are many carnivorous predators in the wild that hunt capybaras, the greatest predator of all is a human. Capybaras are typically very docile animals that live in groups, and some say that their meat is tender and tastes like pork. Because of this, capybaras have been hunted by humans for centuries in South America.
